The Interactive Architecture Lab have unveiled project reearth with the invention of Hortum Machina B. A geodesic sphere with an integrated garden that interacts with its surroundings.
The plants could be moved around automatically, seeking out sun, filtering dirty air and providing fresh greens within cities.
An aluminum core houses the technology’s robotics, monitoring plants on the periphery and changing rotation and position to accommodate their needs.
On-board water storage supplies moisture for growth while the ball stays in motion.
This novel mobile ecosystem is solar-powered, so its search for sunlight fuels not only the plants on board but the system itself.
The plants autonomously sense and determine whether the environmental conditions are suitable for habitation. if necessary, the motorized panels will control the orientation of the structure and move it to a new location.
With efficient water reclamation, the garden could stay on the move indefinitely. The sensors can detect and seek out areas with poor air quality, letting the plants provide filtration on demand. (Source: Hortum Machina B, Architecture Lab at the University College London)
